I know this video is talked about a lot in the thread about the best K-Pop music video, but Gangnam Style has become such a huge hit that I think it deserves its own thread. A couple days ago, it hit the top of AMERICAN iTunes for music videos:

I am thinking of doing the gallop dance to go from bar to bar in the L.A. pub crawl.

And of course, the video is here:

That thread was for Itaewon Freedom Gangnam style just happened to pop up. A new thread with a proper title for this ridiculously popular song/video is fine.

Edit: wow it's at 50 mil now.. god dambi

 

[bjb]

Is this Korean? Is this guy really their Pitbull?

 

[equap]

I don't get the appeal of any of that.

you have your sunglasses on and holding a Corona, standing against the wall scanning the room full of people dancing having fun to this song.

 

[Divvy]

Man, living in my city's Korea town, I am so sick of this song lol

 

[joelseph]

I don't care for Corona! And I prefer to DJ at clubs.

Gangnam Style is basically "Beverly Hills" style.

He says throughout the video that he's this beverly hills guy but what he'a wearing/where he's at is definitely not beverly hills.

Affluent district in South Korea. Think Beverly Hills Style.

edit: Beaten by a minute.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I wonder if the studded Louboutins are real or fake.

 

[Trojita]

I liked Psy's music before it went viral.

[Double D]

I keep hearing "Open condom star"

Thanks. I just tried listening to it again and now I can't unhear it.

[Deleted member 17706]

Don't think the song is anything special, but that's probably the funniest music video I've ever seen.

 

[blame space]

random house beat and a few word in english = 50mil viewers. Yes, and how about the dumb song "I'm sexy and i know it" of your asshole usa? You have a point in your comment, you right, arguining with americans so pointless, because you guy are really stupid, or jerk, or asshole, or whatever.......
By the way, i'm not Korean, i'm Asian, and i have a last word for you, FUCK OFF BITCH...
